Second Trimester Reflections

Well, I am about done with the second trimester. I have been feeling really good the last few months. Plus, lots of fun things happened this trimester. I started to feel the baby kick, we found out that she is a girl, and we started picking out bedding, clothes, and other fun things for her. I love to feel her move. It doesn’t matter what’s going on, it always makes me smile and also is confirmation that she is doing ok. Josh has felt her a few times and likes to tell her that he loves her. You all know how decisive I am and picking out her bedding was no exception. I would be scared to know how many hours I spent on the internet deciding what to get her, but I finally ordered it the other night. Of course, it was the set that I liked in the beginning, but you know me-I just had to be sure. I hope it is cute when it comes in! I wanted to paint the walls pale pink and yellow, which is also a good compromise with Josh because he will only have to repaint part of the room in case we have a boy next time. I am posting pics of the bedding and the baby gear that I have picked after hours of searching. As you can see, I went gender neutral on all of the baby gear but not on the bedding!

This is where we are completely opposite. I don't really care much about stuff like bedding--I'd be like, "Hmm, that one looks alright, and I can afford it... winner!" I pick, and I'm done.

Okay... so I guess we have very similar taste! We have the Graco pack-and-play, swing, and highchair you picked out. (We LOVE them all--especially the highchair, although I hope new baby likes the swing b/c Sadie hardly used it!) I was a big fan of the matching stuff--but we did get a different carseat/stroller. (Marc and I had some disagreements b/c he wanted a different pack-and-play and highchair!) Also, your bedding looks VERY similar to what we picked for Sadie--is it from pottery barn? Sadie's is the same colors and same flowers, but a little different! So I guess you've probably figured out that I really like your pics!

Kristina and I both have the same bedding for our girls and it is VERY close to what you've picked out! And don't worry, it is way cute in person! How funny that we all pick out the same cute stuff!!
